Local facts
ROC Gujarat in Naranpura
Gujarat's companies are registered with ROC Gujarat in Ahmedabad. A company with its office in Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara or Rajkot has its records kept there.
You never deal with the Naranpura office to register. MCA's Central Registration Centre handles the application online. ROC Gujarat becomes relevant later, for annual filings and any notice about your company.
ROC Gujarat address
ROC Bhavan, opp. Rupal Park Society, behind Ankur Bus Stop, Naranpura, Ahmedabad 380013. As listed on the MCA website on 17 October 2026.
GSTIN prefix
Gujarat GSTINs begin with 24.
PT is a separate filing
AGILE-PRO-S links state professional tax only for Maharashtra, Karnataka and West Bengal, so Gujarat PT is applied for on its own.
Check the MCA ROC contact page for the current address before writing to ROC Gujarat.
State rules
Profession tax and shop registration in Ahmedabad
Who collects PT
Gujarat levies profession tax under its 1976 Act. Within city limits, the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is the authority the state has named to collect it.
60 days to enrol
AMC asks for enrolment within 60 days of the date liability arises. It charges a penalty for each day of delay.
Enrolment and employer registration
Enrolment (Form 3) covers the company's own tax. Employer registration is a separate step once you deduct PT from salaries. AMC treats each branch as a separate assessee.
Shops and Establishments
Gujarat has changed its Shops and Establishments rules, and whether your office needs full registration or a simpler online intimation can depend on its size. We confirm the current requirement for your office before you register.
AMC's own profession tax FAQ lists the shop registration copy and the ROC certificate among supporting papers. Sort the shop step out early, whichever route applies to you.
Registered office
Choosing a registered office in Ahmedabad
The address decides more than your ROC. If it is inside AMC limits, AMC is your profession tax authority. If it is outside, a different authority applies, and we check which one before you enrol.
A home, a rented unit or a coworking desk can all be used. Keep the address identical on the utility bill, the rent agreement and the owner's NOC.
Planning a unit in GIFT City's International Financial Services Centre? That needs separate approvals from the IFSC Authority, which this page does not cover.
